The price difference between SSD and HDD is absolutely ridiculous. I know SSDs are expensive, but apple marked that shit up an insane amount.

Dell charge $900, cheapest I could find on an online store was $1700 for 1.8" ($1500 for 2.5"). I'm sure they are making a profit on it, but I think it is unfair to say they are marking it up an insane amount.

When they don't change the price and SSD prices drop, then I think they are fair game for criticism.

I think sony's 12" has the option of a 32gb SSD for 600 more, so the SSD option for the macbook air isn't that unreasonable. Prices will come down once this technology penetrates more than just early adopters.
